and it is one of my hubby's favorite cookies...any time of year. Look closely and you will see the little pieces ofchopped up orange slice candy in the cookies.

I remember orange slice candy back when I was growing up...so I think it is safe to call it "vintage" My 2005 Cookie Party has a "Vintage" theme beginning with a vintage lace tablecloth on the cookie table

A vintage tree in the kitchen is FULL of vintage ornaments

and vintage toys under it.

The curtain over the door is a vintage table cloth

I wore my Mom's apron over her house dress from the 1960s

I asked all my friends to wear vintage aprons

These "vintage"glamour girls wore their mink stoles!

"Leave it to Beaver" has got nothing on us!

I asked the girls to wear those aprons and give them to me as my hostess gift. They each signed a small muslin square with their nameand the year we met...thenI made a signature kwilt with friendship stars using the aprons and signature squares.

"Apron Strings and Cookies"

I will cherish this kwilt as long as there is sugar in my kitchen!Forever!
